THEN AND NOW.

An Historic Tree That Served "a Noble End.
Few of those reared in eastern homes
and now settling in our midst, can
have full conception of the sacrifices
made by the pioneers OF the Pacific
coast, and Montana was no exception
TO other sectioLs of the country. Be.
sides the privations due TO its isolation
some twenty years or more ago, no
country was every infested with des.
peradoes OF bolder type than was
Montana. The career OF many of
these outlaws, IL given in detail, would
cause the blood thirsty tales ofthe yell
low covered trash TO pale for their
very puerility and tameness. The po-
liticsl offices of the territory fell into
the hands of this element and regu.
lsrly organized bands existed through
out various sections of the country.
Their careers were virtually ended by
the vigilance committees organized for
the suppression of crime.
Bancroft, in his Popular Tribunals,
which treat of the vigilance commit
tees of the Pacific coast, gives the fol-
lowing graphic sketch of famous
pine tree near the ca pitsl of Montana:
"a few rods south of Helena, and
Just west of the overland stage road
where it crossed Dry Gulch, and d.
rectly in the gulch, there stand ven
erable pine, whose massive lower
branches Of weird and fantastic growth
extend twenty feet or more from the
gnsrled and moss covered trunk.
Years since it lost its foliage, aud now
1t is gradually yielding to decay, and
ere long clod Of vegetable mould will
alone remain TO mark the site OF the
famous hangmans tree. Could the old
pine tree speak, what tales it could
tell. But perhaps 1t is best that speech
is not given, and that the life Of the
old tree should pass the recollections
OF those early days, when forbearance
having ceased TO os virtue, u short
shift and a hempen cord became nec-
essary to rid the country OF the des-
peradoes that infested ii, and thus Sc
cure long needed protection to lives
aud property Of honest citizens. Now
law and order reign throughout the
territory, and justice is attainable and
administered through regular chan.
nels, and il is to be hoped that never
again will circumstances call for or
justify the formation OF such organizs.

where the truth lay, and bethinking
himself of Solomon in a like predlca-
